Now they sit by your bed and they hide
from each other, by your side
with each other and play games.
They don’t talk, they’d rather watch the clock.

no two turns in a row:
that’s cheating

You never win,
but you want to play again.

You’re the only reason that they spend this time together.
Don’t be scared to share the news.
Afraid to say you’ve made the trade for bells and whistles.
No more thorns and thistles for you.
No more crazy in the head, no more lying in your bed.

Jump up high:
let them know that you are happy.
It’s okay to show them that you’re well.
Celebrate,
if they can’t take it they can go to hell.
